First Trial

[toetoe]

i had a great time today on my very first trial, i went to the dead easy trial, organised by manchester 17 trials club, i couldn't finish, i'm just not fit enough but i enjoyed every minuet, the biggest problem was the rain, it made the grass really slippery, i think if it wasn't so wet i could of done more but i now know what i have got to work on the most to do better next time, i also got chatting to quite a few people so i made a few more friends so all in all a perfect day especially driving home from near buxton, the view was great.

Excellent.

It's one of the things a lot of people under estimate when they get in to trials, is trials fitness. It's not something I even think about now, but on a muddy ole day it can be hard work for seasoned riders, nevermind newbies, hang in there, it will come.

i went home with a great big smile on my face, i really don't care what position i come, my goal is to do better than the last time and one day make it to the end, i have started to do some very light exorcises at home as well as practicing on my bike.

thanks Ian, i will soon be making earl shilton my regular practice ground, i have arranged to meet someone at the next trial, 27 april, so that i can pay my membership fee and get a key from them on the same day, i'm not taking part of the trial but i have offered to be a observer, i thought i would take my bike and maybe get an hours practice in after everything as finished.
